From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Seashores of Old Mexico" is a country music song written by Merle Haggard. It was recorded by Hank Snow in 1971, Freddy Weller in 1972, Haggard himself in 1974 and in 1987 Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson recut the song as a duet. It was not released to country radio, however, until George Strait recorded a version for his 2005 album Somewhere Down in Texas. Strait's version peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2006. A music video for this song with George Strait was filmed in February 2006 in Tulum, Mexico and directed by Trey Fanjoy.
